After the initial shock of this news I decided that I needed to find ways to get on top of this situation and not allow it to kill me. Other than ensuring that my family and myself were kept safe and healthy I concluded that this downtime needed to be worth something, so I focused on finding positive ways to spend my time. Directing my energy toward positive activities would allow me to actually get through this very difficult period with less anxiety and worry and also allow me to make significant progress in several areas of my life.
